[PATCH] silent job monitor when 'set +m'

2009-11-07 Thread Jeff Chua
Chet, The man page mentioned that 'set -m' should print 'a line containing their status upon their completion' ... which should imply 'set +m' should NOT print the status. Attached is a patch to 'silent' bash so that it won't print the status when 'Monitor mode' is off (set +m). If this

[bash 3.1.5] sh -c echo -n ok broken

2006-01-18 Thread Jeff Chua
GNU bash, version 3.1.5(1)-release sh -c echo -n ok returns -n ok. This breaks a lot of scripts ... startup scripts in /etc/rc.d and many packages like glibc make check that use sh instead of bash with -n option. How can I make sh -c echo -n ok returns ok instead -n ok? I've tried
